Hearing Loss and Dementia Linked in Study S eniors with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop dementia over time than those who retain their hearing, a study by Johns Hopkins and National Institute on Aging researchers suggests. T he findings, the researchers say, could lead to new ways to combat d ementia, a condition that affects millions of people worldwide and c arries heavy societal burdens. A lthough the reason for the link between the two conditions is unknown, the investigators suggest that a common pathology may underlie both or that the strain of decoding sounds over the years may overwhelm the brains of people with hearing loss, leaving them more v ulnerable to dementia. They also speculate that hearing loss could lead to dementia by making individuals more socially isolated, a known risk factor for dementia and other cognitive disorders. Whatever the cause, the scientists report, their finding may offer a s tarting point for interventions — even as simple as hearing aids — that could delay or prevent d ementia by improving patients’ hearing. “A lot of people ignore hearing loss because it’s such a slow and insidious process as we age,” Lin s ays. “Even if people feel as if they are not affected, we’re showing that it may well be a more seri ous problem.” T he research was supported by the intramural research program of the National Institute on Aging. Source: hopkinsmedicine.org Use it or Lose it Studies show that untreated hearing loss can lead to other health issues such as: dementia, depression and frequent loss of balance. Another common issue tied to untreated hearing loss is Auditory Deprivation, a process where the brain loses the ability to understand speech. Often times, those that suffer from auditory deprivation find that they can hear, but they can’t under-stand everything that they hear. Hearing aids have proven to stabilize the ability to understand speech, thus, stopping auditory deprivation. Contact your local Beltone Hearing Center for a FREE Hearing Exam.
